Well, I technically still blog in that I run a news site that I post on regularly. But as for why I don't run a personal blog... well there a few reasons really: 1. I'm not sure how to brand it. I have no interest in becoming an 'influencer' under my real name, and it's hard to choose a domain name or brand if you don't have a memorable name or pseudonym. 2. I'm an utter perfectionist, so every time I consider creating a personal blog I think about how it should be designed, coded, etc rather than the content to post there. 3. I dislike letting other people host my work on their services, so no Substack or Medium anymore. My opinion is that if someone takes offence with something I say (or has another legal issue), there should be no third party that can 'solve' those problems behind my back. But that also means effort when I want to use anything that can be self hosted, since it means setting up a domain/subdomain, hosting directory, email, etc. 4. Other things take priority.
